How Dr. Aisha Shehu Adamu Turned Around Federal Medical Centre Jalingo.
By Comrade Musa Mohammed
Undoubtedly, the sterling achievements of DR. AISHA SHEHU ADAMU as the Medical Director of Federal Medical Centre Jalingo from March 25th 2020, to date are worthy to celebrate.
Dr. Aisha Adamu's leadership is at this moment adjudged the best in the history of the health institution.
This statement is confirmed by the majority of staff of the FMC Jalingo.
Her concern from inception of her tenure to date always borders on staff welfarism and improved healthcare services for all. Without mincing word, staffers are living witnesses to an unprecedented improvement her administration had been able to record.
An administrator who has a listening ear and interacts with the union leaders on issues affecting members of staff is surely bond to succeed. Such is the administration of DR. AISHA SHEHU ADAMU and her leadership style. This is described as a trait that distincts her administration from previous ones.
The mantra of Dr. Aisha Adamu is freedom to existing staff Unions which represent staff interest and discuss matters relating to staff welfarism with Management and proffer workable solutions. Instances of staff welfarism, courtesy of her administration include but not limited to; payment of arrears, allowances, regularization of staff appointments, regular promotion and conversion exercise and regular staff training/ development sponsorship other entitlements for the staff.
Speaking on staff welfare, the Medical Director vowed to respect the rights of staffers with equally treatment and promised not to deny them their rights and entitlements.
The rise in healthcare demand of the Nigerian populace glaringly necessitates erections of new structures to accommodate patients giving space for the recent influx of victims of COVID- 19 and other health issues. The current administration has done fantastically well in terms of structural ediffices, such as; RENOVATIONS, ONGOING CONSTRUCTIONS, EQUIPMENTS.
Clinic Building, Library Building, COVID-19 isolation centre and many more.
Her administration has adopted PPP policy to provide an alternative for the patients and interestingly, reports from patients presuppose that the arrangement is superb. Past administrations had made several moves to do this but could not succeed.
Structure were not only built but also equipped with the state- of- the- facilities which ease delivery of medical services. Equipments were purchased to ensure that quality healthcare services for all and sundry are affordable and accessible.
It is equally worthy of note to commend the collaborative and concerted effort of the Hospital’s Management, the State and Federal Governments in the management of COVID-19 pandemic. Successful management of the COVID-19 endemic ascribed to the management skill of the Medical Director who left no stone unturned in seeing to it that Covid patients received prompt medical attention.
The Medical Director has also promoted religious tolerance, peaceful coexistence and industrial harmony.
